Get cobra on-line

[Guest Erin Inman]

Can i enroll for cobra on-line? What is the adress?

Erin,

COBRA's connected to your former employer's health benefits--if your employer a) had health benefits & b) fell under federal regs concerning offering continued health benefits.

If you've just recently become unemployed, had health benefits while you were employed, & your employer had over 20 employees, contact your employer about your COBRA rights. They should supply you with info automatically, but stuff happens sometimes.

Good luck.

Can an employer pay premiums for terminated employee for 2 months and not enroll employee in Cobra even if check was issued for 1st premium payment?

Mary,

You have an odd situation. I’ve seen your posts on various other message threads. If your former employer is subject to COBRA then continuing your coverage for two months beyond termination does not alleviate his responsibility to offer you COBRA coverage. You need to call the employer immediately and the insurer. The longer you wait, the worse it will get.
